What’s the difference between KYB GR-2 and KYB Excel-G?

These products are identical, except for their names and paint colors. KYB sells products throughout the world. Some part numbers fit vehicles from various countries that share the same chassis platform but have different nameplates. At one time, there were several KYB brand names, but we are now moving toward one name and color. All new part numbers will be branded as Excel-G and painted black.
